GTA 6 is right around the corner, and while the wait is certainly almost over, what a ride it has been. The game’s long waiting period was marred by leaks over the years, with everything coming to a climax with the infamous Cyberleek situation. The leaks drip-fed us information about the game, its characters, Vice City itself, and more.
If you’re eagerly waiting for GTA 6 to release and want a trip down memory lane about all the leaks, we have you covered. In this article, we’ll go over all the GTA 6 leaks that we’ve seen so far. Naturally, there may be some spoilers, so if you wish to walk into the game completely blind, you’ve been warned.
Every major GTA 6 leak so far
Teapotuberhacker leak
The first big GTA 6 leak came at the hands of a GTAForums user named Teapotuberhacker on September 18, 2022. The user leaked files showcasing an early build of the game, giving us our first look at the dual protagonists, Lucia and Jason. The leak also gave us glimpses of the new in-development Vice City, as well.
TikTok leak
The next big leak came only a few months later, on December 2, 2023, mere days before the first trailer of the game. The leak was made by a TikToker named azzarossi, who was rumored to be the son of a Rockstar North employee. The leak gave us a glimpse of Vice City’s skyscrapers and residential areas, as well as a busy highway.
Trailer 1 leak
With Rockstar’s marketing going all in to build up the big Trailer 1 release on December 4, 2023, people were eagerly waiting to get their first official glimpse at the game. Well, some people got that glimpse early thanks to a leak of the entire trailer ahead of the official release. The leaked trailer, rumoured to have been released by a YouTube employee, forced Rockstar’s hand and led to the official trailer being released early.
Reddit leak
Fast forward to January 1, 2025, and we got a new leak on Reddit. User JustLovett0 shared an image he claimed was from “mid 2021.” Furthermore, the user shared a Google Drive link that contained an image of Lucia on a monitor. Next to the monitor was a PS5 development kit, and an Xbox development kit was seen in another video. The office scenery also visually aligned with Rockstar San Diego’s, adding credence to the leaks.
A week later, another Reddit user, Pebblestar_, shared in-game information he claimed was legitimate. According to the user, GTA 6 would feature crash physics resembling real-life crashes, multiple weapon wheels for weapons and attachments, high levels of gore, and allow players to enter 40% of the buildings on the map.
Domain leaks
On September 8, 2025, dataminer Tez2 revealed that Take-Two Interactive had registered domains for in-game websites. The websites — what-up.app, rydeme.app, buckme.app, leonidagov.org, brianandbradley.com, and more — appeared to be websites you could visit in GTA 6. However, the very next day, Tez2 reported that all of the discovered domains had been removed from Take-Two’s nameservers.
Demo reel
Later, on November 30, 2025, a demo reel from former Rockstar Toronto character animator Benjamin Chue leaked on Vimeo. The demo reel showed off the game’s animations, showing the player character using a bike. The demo reel was later taken down.
Cyberleek incident
While all the leaks up to that point had given us a peek under the lid, a leaker named Cyberleek blew off the lid entirely in August 2026. The leaker leaked several clips from the game, including 25 minutes of GTA 6 gameplay footage later in October.
The videos showed them driving around the game’s map, interacting with its mechanics. They even threatened to release an entire build of the game online ahead of the game’s official release.
As far as the contents of the leak are concerned, the gameplay footage gave us a glimpse at the following:
- A look at the map: The leak showed us a view of the game’s map, which allegedly includes areas named Dalton Island, Tequesta Retreat, Gloriana Key, and Catalan Key.
- Basketball gameplay: Jason can play basketball in GTA 6, and the leaked clip showed Jason throwing the ball into a hoop.
- Driving: The leaked clip shows Jason driving multiple vehicles during sunset in Vice City.
- Taser weapon: One clip showed Jason using a taser to incapacitate an enemy.
- Zombix consumable: The clip shows the player using a healing consumable named Zombix.
- Plane: One leaked clip shows Jason flying a plane.
- Strip club: Cyberleek leaked a clip of Jason in a strip club.
- Gas station incident: The clip shows Jason stealing a truck at a gas station and dying in a crash.
- Nudist colony: A clip shows Jason attacking a colony of nudists.
- Nightclub interior: The video shows Jason walking around in a nightclub.
- Beach cycling: Jason cycles through the beach, disturbing civilians along the way.
- Store interior: The clip shows Jason walking inside a video game store.
